Ok, everyone thinks I'm probably an idiot not being able to understand this psuedo code but what does this do?
FOR 1 TO 10

I know it's a for loop incrementing by 1, but is it's C equivalent I am pretty sure it's the last one but I'm just not completely for sure

Hi,
Dude its the first one ,if you have picked it up from an algorithm text or something

Shrek is correct assuming the context confirms that.

You'll need to give the context to the psuedocode in order to make sense of the individual line.

it really depends.

If it was meant as: FOR [the first object in an array] to the 10th [last object in an array + 1], then for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) would make sense.

If it meant: FOR 1 "TO" 10, then we don't actually use 10, but go up TO 10, thus "< 10" is the correct answer.

If it was a more elementary: FOR 1-10, then it would be assumed that the person wished for 10 objects to be addressed starting at "1", so <= 10 is the correct choice as 10 *should* be included

Canonically, "FOR 1 TO 10" means 1..10, i.e. including the 1 and the 10.

Anything else would really, really surprise me (and sane programming languages are designed not to surprise).

True, in BASIC you have the FOR var = a TO b syntax, in which a and b are inclusive.
